Afternoon! Have you thought about photo sfxart tricks (just google it)? My work buddy Becky made some stunning pictures with their photography tutorials.
@biutify,
Yes….to a degree. You can spot meter for what you think is the most important thing such as skin tone but it won’t be as accurate as metering for the incident light…you’ll have to do a slight bit of chimping.
Please correct me if i’m wrong, but we can also use spot metering and pinpoint the correct exposure other than using a light meter right? I think that’s another alternative for those who doesn’t want to spend on getting a light meter.
Cheers
I learned a lot from this video 🙂
This is great video! Mark, you are awesome. So is Sarah, Sarah Who though?
great episode!
you use beautiful models for your videos 🙂
Instead of using light meter like you did at 8:13, wouldn’t spot or center weighted metering give you the correct exposure settings?

I have seen tons of comments all over the internet from photographers (or wannabes) who think they are better than the instructors (case in point:rioandashley) or that the instructor is not a good photographer, well; I’d like to see some good examples of their own work or something that can justify those comments, BTW, I’m not mad; I think somebody else is…
The 1/f rule of thumb assumes a 35mm camera (135 format/full-frame) and an 8×10 print. On an APS-C sensor, you’d need to take the crop factor into account for the equivalent “rule”, so 1/60s would be “safe” for most photogs with a 35mm lens. (What you’re worried about is angular displacement of the camera relative to the field of view.) If you’re shooting for the screen (web), you can go slower; if you’re making huge prints, you’d probably need to go faster.
He is not on a photoshoot dude, some examples for us to see…
Very basic but some great tips.
Your wife is awesome Mark!!! Love the outtake. Plus, Sara was a great model, do you use employees for models or actual models?
she looks like LOREEN! :)..just search for euphoria
